Honestly, people overhype what someone can do with your IP address. Yeah, they can see your general location (like city-level) and *maybe* hit you with a DDOS if they’re petty.
But steal your data? Nah, not directly. Your IP alone won’t let them hack into your PC unless you’ve got ports wide open or some weird setup.
For protection, a VPN like ProtonVPN or Windscribe works. Or just restart your router—most ISPs give you a new IP that way. Chill, you’re probably fine!
